The Artifact
August 30, 2003
GMs: Ernie, Nick, Mike A
In-game Location: Quivera, Orange Duchy, northern Barony
OOG Location: Azuza

Synopsis:
(this is the invite text, needs updating by someone who was there)

The Orange Duke, Warlord Kagrug, is in an uproar. His most loyal baron has apparently betrayed him at a time when the Duchies are preparing for war against the Monster Armies that are rumored to be massing along the Uragoth border. Many critical eyes are cast upon the monster Duke in wonder as to where his loyalty will rest if the Hordes do attack. Will he defend Quivera or join the Hordes as a general?

To complicate the matter, the baron has apparently stolen something very precious to the Duke, something that he’ll pay anything to retrieve. If a band of courageous adventurers could pursue the thieves and retrieve the artifact before they escape beyond Quivera’s borders, the reward would be great...

The Blood Sky returned as the adventurers crossed into Urogoth but only for a few minutes. The Baron managed to sneak away safely with the artifact in the confusion.
